 Iran – election – statement no. 7
By 8:00 pm local time, the number of those casting ballots in the
presidential election sham was less than 10 percent of the eligible
voters. For this reason, the Interior Ministry extended the voting
hours.
The assessment is based on the observation of Mojahedin sympathizers
from 15,000 polling stations in different parts of the country.
The number of eligible voters nationwide is close to 50 million. In
order to down play the nationwide boycott, the clerical regime put the
number of eligible voters at 46.7 million.
The Iranian Resistance’s President-elect Maryam Rajavi congratulated
the Iranian people on this nationwide and victorious boycott,
describing it as a reflection of the national resolve to bring down the
ruling theocracy and establishing democracy in the fettered nation.
